Happy New Year! 2012!
Today is traditionally the time for new beginnings, fresh starts and resolutions. Last night we spent with our friends the Terry’s and we celebrated the new year in England, Rio de Janiero, Buenos Aires, Barbados, and New York. Then Emily and I celebrated in Chicago and Scottsdale before I fell asleep! 🙂 Last night was…
Mirmmade Tales…..to be continued?
Well, I have kept this blog barely alive for a year and now I am trying to decide if I am going to keep it going or not. I don’t think it will matter much since not many people follow it (except I get a ridiculous amount of spam), and I am processing several other…
Annual Update
Jim is the one who took care of the Christmas card and letter updates every year. So, now that I am in charge, you are lucky to get anything at all. Having said that, I do know that many of you have asked about how we are doing and wishing you had an update. So…
May it always be Christmas in your heart!
Merry Christmas 2011! We are trying to make new traditions, which time honored traditions to keep, and to enjoy our celebration without Jim. Last year was a blur since Jim had just left us for heaven and everything ached. This year we are still finding it is difficult since Jim left a huge hole in…

Happy Birthday to me! Happy New Year!
There is something about the fall that to me has always felt more like “New Year’s” than the first day of January. Simply put, every fall has marked new beginnings, fresh goals, new shoes and school supplies. My “internal calendar” has always found its rhythm with the school season. I am not sure but perhaps…
Floribama!
Most of you know I recently went to Florida and Alabama, while my kids were in Chicago, for a much needed visit with my relatives. It was fantabulous! Highlights include parasailing with my Aunt Crystal, a fresh shrimp boil, trying alligator (tastes like chicken), a free t-shirt (and food) from Milos, Tortugas pizza (best in…
A New Boss
So today my former boss actually handed over the responsibilities of managing our team to the new boss. For those that have followed my work saga over the last year, it is no surprise that I have been looking forward to this possibility and this day for most of the last year. My former boss…
A Graduation Blessing
Emily’s Senior class at church had a banquet to honor the graduates tonight. The parents were asked to write a blessing to share with their student. Here is the one I read to Emily. Dear Emily, I am so grateful to be your mom. I used to say it was the hardest thing I have…
Mother’s Day 2011
Yesterday I took a mini vacation with my friend Pam and we went down to Hollywood. We hiked to the Hollywood sign and ate ice cream at Didi Reise among other things. I didn’t realize how much I needed the break. I guess I am so busy working and parenting that I don’t think about…
